OPINION REVIEW & OUTLOOK
Honoring Jimmy Lai
In Hong Kong, a valiant attempt to keep publishing the truth.
By The Editorial Board
June 21, 2021 12:02 am ET
The Committee to Protect Journalists was founded 40 years ago to fight for journalists who are “attacked, imprisoned or killed.” In this spirit, the CPJ on Monday announced it is honoring Hong Kong’s Jimmy Lai with its 2021 Gwen Ifill Press Freedom Award. Mr. Lai, the founder, owner and contributor to the Apple Daily newspaper, won’t be able to accept the award in person because he sits in prison in Hong Kong.
The CPJ honor comes after another police raid on the newsroom last week. Five Apple Daily execs were arrested, and two—editor-in-chief Ryan Law and chief executive officer Cheung Kim-hung —were charged under the new national security law and thus denied bail. The CPJ notes that Mr. Lai “fights for the right of his Apple News organization to publish freely, even as China and its backers in Hong Kong use every tool to quash them.”
The grim news is that those who want Apple silenced may be succeeding. We have learned that Apple may be only days away from stopping its presses. This itself is a lesson in freedom. Instead of directly censoring the publication, Hong Kong authorities, backed by China, have targeted the lifeblood of any news organization, its business operations.
The lesson of Apple is that freedom of the press doesn’t exist in the abstract. It depends on property rights. By freezing Apple’s corporate accounts, by stopping Mr. Lai from voting his shares (he holds 72% of the company), and by scaring people from advertising in Apple or doing business with it, Hong Kong has been trying to deny the paper the wherewithal to continue. Lenin understood this more than a century ago, recommending that Communists control newsprint and advertising to bring the press to heel.
There’s a warning here for other Hong Kong business enterprises that may not think they have a stake in what happens to Mr. Lai or Apple. Hong Kong authorities are stealing Mr. Lai’s company because they don’t like his political views—and they have done it by police orders, without due process or judicial review. If they can do it to his company, does anyone really believe they won’t do it to a bank or tech company that offends China?
The men and women at Apple have been making a valiant stand to keep publishing despite the risk of arrest and imprisonment. They are an example of real journalistic courage that should educate an American media that likes to play up its bravery in challenging the government while living under the protection of the First Amendment and a free society. Mr. Lai and his journalists have put their freedom at risk to challenge a real tyranny.
The CPJ award is richly deserved, and it should put a global spotlight on what is happening to Mr. Lai and Apple. As China’s Communist Party seeks to expand its political control over critics world-wide, often with the acquiescence of Hollywood and U.S. tech companies, Jimmy Lai speaks for everyone fighting for the cause of liberty.//

【2016年1月書團書單】
從小小孩進入2歲後,其實就可以開始引導生活秩序(與情緒認識)的部份,而幼兒生活秩序,從最基本的收玩具,像是一次玩一個玩具,玩完要放回玩具的家,到不亂丟垃圾,或者像是借東西前,要經過別人的同意,都是廣義型的生活秩序,簡單說,就是讓孩子從完全隨興所至的小嬰,轉變成具生活秩序到小童,也是進入小社會(同儕相處)時的必經過程,由free spirit publishing出版的"Learning to Get Along"系列繪本,是十分具系統性的幼兒品格繪本!
★作者小介紹:Cheri J. Meiners, M. Ed.,是位兒童教育碩士,除了曾擔任兒童老師外,也曾在美國猶他州立大學教授教育課程,也就是說在幼兒教育這塊,有著相當完整的經驗
★很多人會問:「何時共讀幼兒品格與情緒書單最適合呢?」,Cheri J. Meiners, M. Ed.認為永遠不嫌早!
